Normally, its difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizes only by going over technical specs. The image here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-H15 and NX200.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-H15 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX200 will offer you greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
